The capital of the elves, Leahim.

Concentrating, Moira carefully held the fine crystal in her hand with tweezers and roasted it on the flame of her right hand, her slightly cloudy eyes staring at the slowly changing color of the crystal surface, waiting for the right moment.

When the color of the surface of the crystal changed to a state of bright black mixed with other colors, that is, "multicolored black", Moira quickly threw the crystal into the reagent bottle that had been prepared next to it.

"Zika, Ping!"

There was a painful popping sound in the ear, crystals cracking in the reagent bottle, and gray-white debris slowly sinking to the bottom of the bottle.

"Whew...... The seventh failure, after all, is still old, and it is too much worse in all aspects, without Wang Yu, it is a big problem in terms of material processing. ”

Moira sighed and threw the reagent bottle into the small incinerator in the middle of the room along with the waste in it, and disposed of them.

She had previously been a little dissatisfied with Avia's lack of practice in material handling, which Moira considered to be a must-have ability for an alchemist second only to the talent of alchemy.

But after really "using" Wang Yu, Moira understood the girl's feelings, and it would be addictive to let Wang Yu deal with materials......

Throw the raw materials and processing methods to that guy, wait for a short time, the processed materials will be sent to the side, you don't have to worry about anything, the tedious and error-prone processing process will say goodbye to yourself from now on, without Wang Yu's help, it's really uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Moira could only shake her head, when did she be so slack, if she was young, she would ......

Well, if you really meet a classmate or disciple like Wang Yu who is so easy to use, I guess I can't help but be lazy.

“……”

When thinking about herself, Moira's thoughts drifted out uncontrollably, the companion who studied with her at that time has been gone for decades now.

"Alas, when did you become so sentimental when you get old, and you can't stop thinking about it, is it because of the influence of my two newly recruited disciples, after all, trying to complete the almost impossible task of the "Bottled Miracle" potion is also inspired by them. ”

When she thought of the classmate she had met since she came to Leahim and was also a close friend, Moira's feelings became complicated.

The gradual precipitation of the old man's state of mind as a human being, which has come to an end, will only set off something that can be called a wave.

After coming to Leahim to study, Moira, who was called a genius, quickly gained a place in the academy of the elves of Leahim with her talent.

And geniuses will always attract each other, Kate, this is the name of her first elven friend, a very quiet and talented elf girl in pharmacy, a chance exchange problem, but also the opportunity for the two to meet.

In fact, there are not so many that there are not, it is the story of two aliens who know each other and then become friends.

At that time, Moira's personality was much more flamboyant than it is now, so the way the two got along was quite like the style of friends in dorms on earth.

After learning that Kate, an elf girl who looked much younger than herself, was actually a few hundred years old, Moira often called the other party an old woman.

As for Kate, although she is relatively quiet, she has nothing to be reserved about getting along with her friends, "calling Mom", this is Kate's response to Moira.

It's a very simple, very pure friendship, and this kind of relationship really exists in this world basically only in the various colleges.

"Hmm...... If you're still around, what would you say when you saw me like this? ”

Moira pinched the wrinkled, slightly loose skin on the back of her hand, she was old, and if Kate was still alive, the decades would not change her appearance much, and her tone was a little inexplicable.

She is not a knight, and the mage's fragile constitution is not enough to support her to use potions that can prolong her life or maintain her youth, and the mage's lifespan and physical problems will always be their pain until they cross a certain realm.

It is worth mentioning that Zigge's old acquaintance, Gewen, is Kate's brother, and has a relationship with Kate, and the relationship between the three is very good.

However, since Moira no longer has any contact with Gwen at this time, something must have happened during this period that changed all this.

In a campaign against the orcs, the elves and dwarves sent their men together, and Moira and Kate followed as the healers of the team.

No one thought that the orc rogue would hide a leader with a legendary weapon, Frostfire, and one of the armies of the former orc kingdom with the strength of a great knight.

The orc knight, who was caught off guard and held the legendary weapon "Frost Fire", was caught off guard by the combined team of dwarves and elves who came to exterminate him.

The mace wrapped around the frost flames turned a large number of dwarves and elves into internal combustion ice sculptures in the churning ice flames.

Fortunately, the place where the conflict occurred was the outskirts of the Forest of Origin, and the overwhelming number of tree spirits and ancient trees of war drowned the mighty orcs alive with their lives.

Unfortunately, Kate, as the team's physician, was swept away by the aftermath of the battle and was affected by the power of the legendary weapon "Frostfire".

"Burning Ice", the invisible fire that burns in the body, the eternal ice that grows outside the body, this is the terrifying thing about this legendary weapon, those who are hit head-on needless to say, just by the aftermath, that power will also kill the affected existence in a short period of time.

It's almost impossible for this power to be lifted, unless, with a higher priority, a miracle of the gods counts, and a strange object counts, it's hard to find something that can affect the power of a legendary weapon.

Kate was only affected by the aftermath, so it wasn't that serious at first, and Moira, who was proficient in pharmacy, knew that her comatose friend only needed one thing that the Leahim elves just needed to survive.

That is the liquid in the source pool of the tree of life, for non-elven existences, as long as they are soaked inside, it is like being reborn in the mother's body, the life level will be jumped, the lifespan will be closer to the immortal species, and various talents will also increase dramatically.

And for the elves, it is really a reconstruction, washing away all the dark wounds and old diseases, purifying all the pain, this power is enough to remove the remnants of the "frost and fire" power in Kate's body.

I thought that Kate's brother was Ge Wen, who was an elf elf elder, and his best friend's life would inevitably survive, but when Ge Wen's face was ugly and refused to let Kate accept the liquid of the source pool with the rules of the elf race, Moira's heart was cold.

"So, if I really finish refining the Prayer Elixir, should I make a wish and have some being uproot this impersonal tree of life ......?"

Tapping on the table, Moira looked out the window at the Tree of Life, her expression unclear.

"Heh, forget it, let's not talk about whether this half-finished potion can fulfill this wish, it's better to pray to get me some liquid in the source pool, so that I can study it or increase my lifespan, and the most important thing is to see what Ge Wen's rigid guy will look like if the rules are broken."

A smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, and a cheerful person would always become a little old when he got old, and Moira was like that.

She is actually almost reconciled with the past, Gewen said that this guy really did something wrong, maybe, but in his position, what he has to do, sometimes he really has to stand on a higher level to see.

"I don't know what the situation is with my two disciples, if the corruption they said is true, then the Sorensen Mountains will not be so peaceful, I hope they don't do it."

No longer thinking about the past, Moira stood up and walked over to the alchemy table, picking up a special container that had been placed on it.

The dark purple liquid with a shimmering starlight color inside the container is the half-finished product of the prayer potion that Moira has completed during this time, and it may also be the limit of what she can do at this age.

"Lucky Coins", that's the name Moira gave to the potion, and the next thing she has to do is try to make the potion's transformation from mere "luck" to "wish", and it's real, like a step in the sky.

……

Sorensen Mountains

Wang Yu and Avia were following Sif's guidance at this time, patrolling the magic of nature.

After Holo used the magic of nature to contact Wang Yu and them, Avia and Wang Yu began to go to the place where Holo's old acquaintance was, with the help of Sif.

"Your Excellency, I didn't expect to see you here, although it may be a little late, but I am very lucky to meet you at this point in time, no matter what, can I take the liberty of asking you to do me another favor."

This was the message that Horo had sent through the crazy moss.

Walking through a forest, Wang Yu and the three of them stood on a cliff halfway up the Sorensen Mountains, where the final point of nature's magic pointed.

"Click, Click, Click......"

As soon as they arrived, the cliff wall began to crack, and some thick and tough vines broke through the rock, poked out, and stretched a passage into the mountain, revealing it to Wang Yu and them.

After confirming that the Phase Gate teleportation was ready to take place, the three of them walked together into the exposed passage above the rock wall, deep into the Sorensen Mountain.

Above the rock face are sprawling vines that support the structure and are the passages they have excavated.

The familiar aura on these plants also allowed Wang Yu to truly confirm the existence inside this passage, which was the dark elf druid, Holo, who had fought side by side with him in the dark shadows of the royal city.

"Ahem, Your Excellency Wang Yu, I'm sorry to meet you in this posture, I can't even salute in this way."

When Wang Yu's chariot power probed Huo Luo's figure, the other party's voice also came from inside the cave, the voice was weak, hoarse and dry, completely different from the once gentle voice.

And Wang Yu, who captured the other party's state, could fully understand why Huo Luo's voice was so haggard.

It is difficult to say that Holo's state at this moment is still a dark elf, and a large number of vines protrude from the rock wall, surrounding Holo's body in layers, fixing him to the rock wall.

The power of Wang Yu's chariot allowed him to see blind spots that could not be seen with the naked eye, and he knew that the lower half of Huo Luo's body, which seemed to be surrounded by vines, had actually completely turned into vines, and these vines were originally spreading out of the flesh of his lower body, spreading out to the surroundings.

There were many additional roots poking out from the surroundings, connecting with Huo Luo's upper body, and penetrating into his body in a fine way, occasionally beating, which reminded Wang Yu of the delicate neural network in the human body.

And the only thing that can still be called complete is Holo's head, a wry smile appeared on the other party's face, looking at the three people who walked in.

"You, why is this ......?"

Wang Yu looked at Holo's state and said a little helplessly, the other party's state Wang Yu can judge that Holo's life is somewhat similar to the druid in the mushroom human body, and he blends into this "nature" with his own body.

"Listening to His Excellency the Archbishop, I think I also have an understanding of the state of this mountain range, alas, after seeing the efforts of the druids in my hometown, how can I abandon this land and leave, even if I only delay."

The smile on Huo Luo's face became more and more bitter, and Wang Yu's words without persuasion made the other party realize the limits of what he could do, but at least, he still did it.

"Corruption and famine, and the new ecology that this druid has created, right?"

Wang Yu didn't ask anything else, but just confirmed the point.

"That's right, at this moment, the forests and other creatures of the Sorensen Mountains are actually the lives of the druids of my homeland who recreated them in the land of famine."

Holo nodded, confirming Avia's and Wang Yu's guesses about what was happening in the Sorensen Mountains.

"But in that case, the matter here should have been settled, so why would you do that?"

Wang Yu asked his second doubt, there was no need for Huo Luo to make himself what he is now.

"It would be great if the Druids of Sorensen did solve the corruption entirely on their own, but unfortunately, the Druids were a little too weak in the face of that Corruption, so the Dark Elf Druids borrowed the most powerful power they could."

Powerless, this is the feeling that Huo Luo responded to Wang Yu at this moment.

"The Tree of Life?"

Brief inquiry.

"Well, even though the elves don't recognize the dark elves, we are still children of the tree of life, and when the druids make a supplication at the cost of their lives, how can the tree of life, as a mother, refuse their request."

"Using the power of the Tree of Life, the druids gave their lives to create an ecology that grew on top of the famine that had fallen from corruption, but the corruption had not actually faded, and it was still lurking beneath the Sorensen Mountains."

"Over the years, its thirst for life has intensified, absorbing the life force from the tree of life, and now, it is about to wake up, and what I have done is to send a false message to it that exists under the mountains, "I am still hungry and thirsty, and it is not yet time to wake up." ”

"There's not much I can do, at most a week later, and it will wake up, and I don't know what it's going to do, but its thirst for life force will definitely not bring anything for the better."

Holo recounts what he has done and what has happened on the Sorensen Mountains, and at the end of the story, he uses the magic of nature to shape and transmit a picture to the three people present.

It was a dark space beneath the Sorensen Mountains, where a huge worm stumbled, its fleshy tentacles extending from its body connected to the roots of countless plants that came from nowhere under the mountains, drawing nutrients from it.

It was asleep, because the eyes that covered the huge worm's body were still closed, but at this moment, some of the countless eyes had opened a slit, revealing the grayish and yellow eyeballs covered with filthy substance, which was a sign of its awakening.

"Devourer of Worlds......

With a solemn expression, he muttered in his mouth, with the name of something from the earth, Wang Yu gave this huge nameless worm a name.
